This study used online survey data collected from four Asian cities to reveal how individuals' health beliefs are shaped in a time of trust deficits and changing media environments. We discovered a negative relationship between individuals' competence-based government trust and their anti-vaccine attitudes, thereby underscoring the important role played by trust in risk communication with individuals during public health crises. We further examin…

Research on Optimization of Tourism Spatial Structure of Linear Cultural Heritage
Linear cultural heritage poses significant challenges in tourism development, primarily due to the complexities involved in implementing scientific zoning and differentiated management strategies. Systematic optimization of its tourism spatial structure has thus become crucial for achieving sustainable utilization. This study adopts a case study approach based on deductive reasoning to examine the morphological characteristics and evolutionary pa…
The dark side of the Internet
Characterized by robust technical anonymity and a conspicuous absence of stringent regulations, the dark side of the Internet represent the less illuminated aspects of the digital world. This study analyzed a national survey conducted in the United States in November 2020 ( N = 702) to understand the relationship between using the dark side of the Internet and misinformation beliefs in both public health and political context. With the help of pr…

The spatial injustice in tourism-led historic urban area renewal
At present, China’s urbanization development has evolved from incremental expansion to stock redevelopment. Against this background, tourism-led urban redevelopment is widely regarded as an effective way to realize sustainable renewal in historical urban areas. Nevertheless, spatial restructuring during the renewal project entails the reconfiguration of stakeholders’ interests, which may bring spatial injustice. How balance the spatial interests …
Empowering or backfiring? The paradoxical effects of digital media skills on depression through (mis)information sharing on social media
This study proposed and tested a novel theoretical framework of media empowerment regarding the relationship between digital media skills and mental health as well as the complex mechanism linking the two. This study utilized an online survey of a representative sample of Shanghai residents ( N = 916) to examine the interconnections among digital media skills, (mis)information sharing, and mental health. The findings revealed that the empowerment…
An Unhelpful Chain
This study used large-scale telephone surveys in China and Singapore in 2022 to examine the antecedents and outcomes of news avoidance amid the COVID-19 “infodemic.” The findings suggested a sequential process: Exposure to COVID-19 misinformation was related to information overload and subsequent news avoidance, which in turn was a correlate of skepticism toward vaccines. Moreover, the government’ pandemic-control policies conditioned the process…
Media Literacy Interventions Improve Resilience to Misinformation
The widespread dissemination of misinformation has become a global concern. A recommended solution is to improve people’s ability to discern true from false information through appropriate media literacy education programs. This meta-analysis quantitatively synthesized the results of 49 experimental studies ( N = 81,155) that examined the efficacy of media literacy interventions in mitigating misinformation. This study finds that media literacy i…
Propagating Covid-19 Conspiracy Theories
Although the growing literature on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) conspiracy theories has highlighted the role of digital media in fomenting beliefs, few studies have examined the influence of the fast-rising far-right media platforms. This study examines and compares the role of conservative media and far-right websites in propagating COVID-19 conspiracy theories and explores an underlying sociopsychological mechanism of political identity.…
Mapping verification behaviors in the post-truth era
Given the widespread misinformation problem in societies across the globe, scholars aiming to combat misinformation wish to change verification behaviors at the individual level. To map what is known about media users’ verification behaviors, this study reviewed 52 articles and analyzed how verification research has progressed so far. The results indicate that verification research has been conducted since 2000 but has increased considerably in r…
An Empirical Analysis of the Effectiveness of Daycare Centers in Improving the Well-Being of Older People
In 2021 the State Council set out a plan to address the challenges posed by China's aging population, particularly through the consolidation of community home care services, including the provision of daycare centers. This study focuses on the provision of daycare centers in Dalian, a key city in Northeast China, and utilizes Mary Shaw's "housing and health" model to conceptualize daycare centers as elements in a network that encompasse home and …

The relationship between online political participation and privacy protection
Information disclosure during online political activities can place participants under the threat of personal data leakage and misuse, but privacy protection in the context of online political participation has rarely been studied. This study examined how online political participation is related to privacy protection behaviours. Using survey data of internet users from 10 Asian societies, our study suggests two important findings. First, online …
Spatial–Temporal Correlations between Soil pH and NPP of Grassland Ecosystems in the Yellow River Source Area, China
In recent years, ecological concerns such as vegetation destruction, permafrost deterioration, and river drying have been paid much more attention to on the Yellow River Basin in China. Soil pH is regarded to be the fundamental variable among soil properties for vegetation growth, while net primary productivity (NPP) is also an essential indicator to reflect the healthy growth of vegetation. Due to the limitation of on-site samples, the spatial−t…
Improving urban Recreational Business District (RBD) from the perspective of visitors’ satisfaction and perception
The Recreational Business District (RBD) is a more active and attractive place in a city. The development of RBDs has become a popular transforming direction in downtown renewal progress by creating novel attractions for visitors and providing services to them.

Reducing political polarization in Hong Kong
Contemporary Hong Kong is riven by serious political and social polarization. Hong Kong's problem does not lie in ideological differences among citizens; rather, the major issue is that people of different political stripes view each other as enemies. In this study, we conducted two experiments to compare the impacts of deliberation and discussion on political depolarization. In study 1, we invited participants of opposing views toward the Articl…

Predicting judged fluency of consecutive interpreting from acoustic measures
This experimental study of consecutive interpreting investigates whether: (1) there is any correlation between assessments of its fluency and accuracy; (2) judged fluency can be predicted from computer-based measurements like articulation rate. Ten raters judged six criteria of accuracy and fluency in two consecutive interpretations of the same recorded source speech, from Chinese A into English B, by 12 trainee interpreters (seven undergraduates…
Effects of immediate repetition at different stages of consecutive interpreting training
The present study investigates whether immediate repetition improves consecutive interpreting performance during training. In addition, the study tries to shed light on whether the effects of immediate repetition differ between BA and MA interpreting trainees. In the experiment, ten raters judged six major quality measures of the accuracy and fluency of the interpreting output recorded from seven BA trainees and five MA trainees. The seventh qual…
